Two More Christmas Fantasy Shorts

When I played this for our son, my husband looked up the story of Rudolph on Wikipedia and informed me that the above cartoon was the first time Rudolph made it to the big screen, without the now famous song, which didn't exist at the time.  It was re-released, apparently, after the song was written.  I don't know if the original cartoon from 1944 is available in any form anywhere or not; the above version is obviously the 1948 version.




The above is a clip from the 1915 Edison film Santa Claus Vs. Cupid directed by Willard Louis in the waning years of the Edison "studio" system.
